>>155014755
This guy on the other hand just gave up? The hiatus is so long I doubt he'll ever come back. So maybe it's not a 'break' at all.

not saying he's king, but i like miura because he's an im@s fag
72 a shit though
i also don't care about berserk

>>155014713
>reading haitus crap
Hahaaa.
A friend of mine told me he was reading the new Berserk chapter yesterday. I was like - wait that shit is still running?

>>155015367
Theoretically Miura also has 2 series in hiatus (well had since berserk just got a chapter).

how does one even get a fanbase or decent sales working like that?

Tanigawa.
Probably has the largest amount of active seasonal BD buyers waiting.

>>155015648
The funny thing is, last time I checked, D Gray Man's new volume sold really well, I think it was around 300k first week. Better than most WSJ series of today.

>>155015700
maybe it's desperate fans buying it thinking it will encourage the creator to work harder

i can't imagine any other scenario

>>155015648
It's the opposite actually. Because they had big fanbase they can pull off shit like this.

>>155015648
You start becoming a hiatus-master once you have a solid following so you can pull it off without your editor deciding otherwise. You need to have the upper hand.
See : Togashi who could pull of the most advantageous contract in the fucking world because he almost singlehandedly sold the Jump for the decade that followed the end of DBZ

Togashi is such a weird-looking faggot. How did he land a cutie like Takeuchi?

>>155015806
>he almost singlehandedly sold the Jump for the decade after DB ending
I always didn't get this anecdote. YYH ended before DB and Slam Dunk (two best sellers of Jump at that moment) so he couldn't save it from anything. If you mean HxH, it was selling really great, but at the same time there was One Piece, Kenshin and Yu Gi Oh and a few months after HxH premiered, Naruto. So also hardly a WSJ crisis in my opinion.

>>155014713
The hiatus king is Bastard's author. Togashi a best.

>>155015620
Is D Gray Man worth reading?

this is why I don't read manga

anime is always gareenteed to have some sort of stopping point

>>155016046
early HxH was seen as a much, much safer bet than One Piece since Togashi was an established name and Oda was a newcomer

Reminder that Nips are lazy as fuck and 'hiatus' and 'illness' is just a commonly accepted excuse for this, and the 'horrid slavelike working conditions' are nothing compared to a real blue collar job. Artists really make me sick the more I think about it.

If we're talking about non /a/ lazy geezers, what about GRRM? The fucker needs to finish the book he's working for years and make a new one and that'd be it. Why such a slow pace?

Mangaka work an average of ~100 hours a week. Let's say that 1 chapter takes 1 week. From his wiki, Togashi has created at least 580 chapters of manga. That's 58,000 hours of work.

The man is 48 years old so, in order to match that equivalent by an average full-time job (40 hours/week), he would have had to work 40 hours/week since he was 21 with no vacations/breaks/whatever. That's not even including several of his works, illustration training, supplementary work, etc.
Not to mention that he has a wife and two kids.

Mangaka get paid per page by the publishers and then look to make a large portion of their money on merchandising and tankoubon sales. Mail-in (or email-in) reviews and, more importantly, sales of those products are where mangaka benefit from fans. When was the last time you bought a Japanese tankoubon of HxH? A YYH reprint will get him way more cash way faster than putting out HxH chapters ASAP (which I'm sure he's doing anyway).
Most Western fans are probably reading illegally published HxH on a foreign media site and haven't touched a tankoubon in years, let alone gone out of their way to buy a new one from Japan (resells don't benefit the artist). Most of them have no idea how much time and effort Togashi puts into his work because they don't even know what goes into making a comic.
I dare anyone who complains to draw a single manga chapter and try to make it as good as a chapter of HxH. It's really hard.

This is a problem with the new media generation: they sit here and enjoy a product for free and then get uppity when they don't get their weekly fix. It's a one-sided relationship where the fans who give nothing to the creator enjoy the greatest reward. If you're going to reap the benefits of someone else's labor at least have the dignity to do so with some modicum of self-awareness.

>>155017704
Bored of it. The series is two decades old and the tv-series has eclipsed his books in popularity.
Dude will keel over before he gets the last one out since he's going to write it for another 7 or 8 years after the next one is released.

>>155016211
but HxH still started in like 96 or something, while DB ended in 86. So Togashi clearly wasn't saving jump for the decade between those.

>>155018413
I think it's more likely he got married, or something.

why should I be expected to buy a Japanese release? It's useless to me, I can't read it.

I do buy the official tanks in my language, but it's not my fault that I happen to live in the wrong country, or the system is set up in such a way, that it's impractical for me to show my monetary appreciation.

>>155020274
Isn't that because the rights are owned by a dead magazine.

>>155017996
Ad hominem. Just because we're trash doesn't make our argument less accurate. Some mangaka are lazier than others.

>>155014713
Inoue, where's HOTD, that will never be finished.

>>155020641

Simplifying it like that is exactly what makes you trash. Manga is an industry that inherently leaves out laziness. Pointing out a genuine guy here and there does not invalidate the anon's post in any way, shape or form.

Seeing Miura's entire body of work for the last 25 years and calling that lazy is beyond fucking stupid.

Is the guy sick or something? I remember one time I called him lazy, but somebody reprimanded me and told me that he was suffering from some illness.

I'm not too sure if this is true though. Although when I was told this, it was literally years ago. I truly do think he's just lazy now.
